It is not only your physical ability but mental strength that helps you go a long way. Make yourself mentally strong to move ahead in your life. The mind is the power that keeps you motivated towards achieving your goal. Follow these steps to stay ahead:
Develop a “can do” attitude
Given a life easy and smooth to follow, anyone can live happily. However, when you face difficulties in your life you get to know your real self. Remember, keeping a positive attitude is winning half the battle. Test yourself at each step of your life since you are not aware what you are capable of. (Image)
Take an initiative
Do what you have to do. Do not insist on getting good results at once. Start working towards your goals and focus on what you can do, leave everything else that is beyond your capabilities. Do not give up without trying. (Image)
You never fail
Remember you never fail; you simply get better with time and experience. Develop an attitude to learn from your failures. As Edison famously remarked before inventing the lightbulb, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” (Image)
Chose logically
Develop an attitude of saving your energy for achieving more in life. Do not waste your energy on less productive ideas and people. Introspect whenever you get some free time. This can help you get to know your own in a much better way.
Learning never stops
Your success remains incomplete without a heart touching story of failures. Remember everyone who achieves loses once or many times. Learn from your mistakes and develop a winner’s attitude. “A winner who fails and then dusts off the failure, tries again and wins” This phrase explains the story of success.
Come out of your shell
Try to do things that offer you a measurable risk. Taking high risks in life can be foolishness but taking risks that you know would not land you in a life-threatening situation is much better than not taking risks at all. Enjoy the journey to success. Yes, winning is important but what if someone makes you a winner when you don’t even try. Your success would be hallow and meaningless. So, just enjoy this ride to those milestones you have set out to achieve. (Image)
Nibble a chewing gum
Chewing gum really helps you stay focused. You must have seen people practicing the habit and it works really. Studies at Cardiff University in Great Britain have come up with the conclusion that the habit of chewing gum in a fast, rhythmic manner helps to increase the blood flow to brain regions. (Image)
Self-talk
Seeing kids patting themselves on the back when they hit a goal is a little astonishing but it does work. Cheer yourself up by saying things that motivate you. People do that unintentionally or sometimes to boast off among a group of friends. Start doing it intentionally. Next time you want to give your best, do not forget to pat yourself on the back by saying “I am the best. Give yourself a pep talk and work towards your goal. (Image)
Stay with nature
Aerobic exercise in a garden raises the levels of brain-derived neurotropic proteins that help neurons to grow. Meditation can also help you to retain the information. It is good that you practice yoga but coming out of four walls can help you becomes a little smarter.
